Download or read book Glacier Ice written by Austin Post and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2000-01-01 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The awesome beauty and majesty of glaciers, the world of ice which has shaped and reshaped large parts of the earth's surfaces, are presented here through more than one hundred photographs and a closely integrated, informed text. Austin Post's series of aerial photographs of glaciers along the North Pacific Coast of North America and into the interior ranges of Alaska, is supplemented with ground-based photographs taken in the course of glacier research and by additional illustrations from the Himalayas, Switzerland, Chile, and other parts of the world. The authors clearly explain the features illustrated. Their discussion of the effects of glaciers on the landscape, formation and mass balance, flow and fluctuations, moraines, ogives, and surface details is valuable for the general reader as well as the expert.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Glaciers and ice sheets have been melting significantly during recent decades, posing environmental threats at local, regional and global scales. Changes in glaciers are one of the clearest indicators of alterations in regional climate, since they are governed by changes in accumulation (from snowfall) and ablation (by melting of ice). Glacier chan

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Terrestrial and aerial photography combine with historic documents and computer-modeled drawings to capture the world’s shrinking glaciers across four continents In 2009, Daniel Schwartz began a photographic art project documenting visible evidence of the disappearance of glaciers around the world, intending it as a catalyst for reflections on climate history and the relationship between glacial cycles and human lifespan in the context of natural ecology and human progress. The project’s geographical field of interest extends from today’s Alpine cryosphere to areas of prehistoric glaciation in what is now the great plain of Switzerland, to as far afield as Pakistan (Karakoram range), Uganda (Rwenzori range), and Peru (Cordillera Blanca)—all of which demonstrate dramatically shrinking glaciers at differing stages. Schwartz has traveled widely over many years and has created new views of rarely photographed glaciers, such as those in equatorial Africa. Combining spectacular close aerial photography with archival documents in more than 160 photographs, Schwartz links art and science and continues an interdisciplinary tradition with roots in early eighteenth-century Switzerland, the birthplace of glaciology. These beautifully detailed photographs define new ways to examine glaciers as a functional archive of human presence, and to consider human intervention in natural history. The film “Beyond the Obvious—Daniel Schwartz. Photographer” follows Schwartz during the final stages of “While the Fires Burn.” Information at http://www.goldeneggproduction.ch/portfolio-item/beyond-the-obvious-en/#tab-id-3

Smith and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of glacier dynamics, locally and globally, has become a topic of increasing interest and importance in assessing the effects of climate change, and previous research has demonstrated that analysis of glacier parameters provides valuable information regarding the various consequences of this change. The purpose of this research was to detect temporal change in two specific glacier parameters: glacier extent (total area) and total length along with identifying the rates and direction/trend for the Laughton, Carmack, Cleveland, Saussure, and Irene Glaciers, all situated within the vicinity of Skagway, Alaska. Landsat TM and ETM+ image scenes from 1984-2011 were utilized in addition to aerial photographs and topographic maps from as early as 1948 to identify glacier parametric changes and trends. Furthermore, specific processing techniques were applied for the purpose of accurately mapping glaciers, including manual extraction, calculating the Normalized Difference Snow Index statistic, band ratioing, and performing a supervised classification.--[portion of abstract]
